15.15 miles, according to the Garmin.
Cloudy, but very humid. I was dripping by the end of mile 2. Made the mistake of jumping in with a few of my friends, they were were running 7:30 miles, my goal was to average 9 min. miles. Luckily I only ran with them 2-1/2 miles. The rest of the run was a slow slog...just how I like it.

Total for the day = 10 miles
Total for the week = 31 miles
Total for the month = 131 miles
Total for the year = 1645 miles

Tuesday-April 20, 2010
Busy busy.
I ran the Earth Day Half-Marathon in St. Cloud this past Saturday. Finished in 1:33:14, which is 7 minutes faster than my 1:40:32 at Dallas in March.
I started out with the 1:35 pacing group, but at mile 5 I was feeling good, so move out and kicked it a little. Felt good until 11, then tightened up a bit, but still finished in pretty good shape. I was happy with my 4th place age group.
Sunday I ran 7, not too hard. I paid the price on Monday, only ran an easy 5 miles.
Today I felt much better, ran 4 at lunch, and will finish up with a 5 mile after work.
This weekend is the Country Music Marathon in Nashville, TN. Wish me luck.

Ran the Fred Kurz 10 Mile on Saturday, April 10. I complained a bit about my 9:20 starting time (which means I would need 7 minute miles to finish at 10:30), but wouldn't you know it, Rick Recker was spot on. I finished two seconds under a 7 minute mile (1:09:58). I still don't understand how Terry Hakkola got a 9:10 starting time, almost a 10 minute head start, especially in light of the fact he was only 2 minutes back at the Human Race 8k.
I did manage to catch Heidi Miler, in the last mile, it took me almost the whole 10 miles to make up the 1 mile different. Only one guy passed me during the whole race, so all in all, I was quite happy.
The weather was perfect for running.
Sunday I ran 7 miles with Emi and Willie Tibbits. We ran a few miles close to 7, but most were in the 7:30-7:45 range.
A wonderful weekend for running. Next Saturday is the Earth Day half-marathon. I haven't finished under 1:40 for a half-marathon this year, I think I can run a 1:35 if I can keep my miles under 7:15. I did it for 10 miles, I should be able to hold it together for another 5k. Of course, "should" doesn't always mean "can".
